Therapy and Counselling at Our Clinic in Burlington
Psychotherapy treatment is different for everyone. For children, counselling and therapy to help recover from child abuse can take a few forms:
Play Therapy
Kids can find it difficult to express their emotions by talking. It can be easier for kids to demonstrate their feelings through play.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
This type of therapy helps children cope with distorted thought processes that arise from trauma.
Group Therapy
With group therapy, children can meet other kids with similar circumstances. The therapy can help minimize any notions of stigma, shame, and isolation so that kids have a safe environment to learn new skills and communication techniques.
Family Therapy
Family therapy can help victims repair their emotional connection with the family, while parent-child interaction therapy targets the relationship between the abuser and the victim specifically.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism
I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
